COMPLAINTS OF FIREWORKS DEALERS.
Dealers in holiday explosives claim that Super
intendent Travis is not warranted in giving
orders to the patrolmen to stop the sale and use
of fireworks for the celebration Of the Fourth Of
July. A wholesale dealer stated to Journal
reporter. last evening, that, upon examining the
city laws, he mad found that In 1868 an ordnance
was passed prohibiting the sale to minors or the
shooting off of fireworks within the city limits.
''Simar ordinances said the dealer, ''have
been passed by the councils of most all villages
and towns the country. AS this ordinance never
has been enforced. hundreds of dealers have
bought their stock to supply their customers,
and find themselves stuck with their goods.
The matter was brought before the Common
Council last Monday evening, but the repeal of
the ordinance, or, rather. a proposed suspension
of it from july to July 5. could not be sane.
toned by both bodies account of the Board of
Aldermen having adjourned before the Council
had voted upon the question 1 don't under
stand how it can be left with the police superin-
tendent to resurrecr old ordinances or declare
them dead letter at his pleasure. If the Police
Commissioners intended to enforce the ordi-
nance, it would have been but fair to express the
intention sooner. the ordinance might have
been repealed. or, merchants saved the loss of
money expended for such supplies Fireworks

the several committees whose duty 1t

and commanding appearance, we are in

stories of pioneer life and hair-breadth
escapes were listened to with profound
attention, especially by the rising genera
ton of the Panther city. The entire party
spoke loudly in praise Of the people OF
Fort Worth snd the hospitality with
which they treated their guests.

meath the runs, fatally Wounding several,
and it is feared killing others outright.
The explosion occurred ct $3.50. The
boiler which exploded was the hot water
boiler behind the kitchen range. The eX-
plosion blew ont portion of the rear
wall Of the building thirty feet in width,
and extending from the ground to the
floor Of the fourth story. One end Of the
dining room was wrecked, all the tables
being knocked over and the dishes
smashed. Most of the guests had finished
breakfast. Among those who remained 8
panic reigned, but as far as known none
of the guests were hurt. The Kitchen of
he hotel was completely wrecked. There
were about dozen girls in the room at
the time and all were buried beneath the
mass of brick and mortar. The following
gir's were taken out from the ruins badly
injured:
MISS ANNA KENNEDY, assistant cook,
terribly burned aud bruised.
MISS CARRIE OLSON, dining room girl,
fatally burned and lacerated.

D[ABOLICAL CRIME.

Purpcsely Cvarloading a Gun, n Party or
RunIers Induce a Boy to Fire l., and 1t
Explooes
PONTIAC, Mich Nov. 25.-A story of
deliberate criminality on the part of 8
party Of young men comes from Blrming-
ham, near here. Yesterday 8 number of
persons went hunting, and were accom-
panied by Albert Collier, boy. In 8
spirit of mischief a gun was purposely
overloaded and given to Collier, who
WAS urged to discharge it. The
lad obeyed, the gun exploded, and
Collier received injuries which will prove
fatsl. When the party Of hunters saw
the effect OF their joke they were either
pinIc-st icken aDd fed in terror, or they
left the boy deliberately in al exrecta-
ton that he would die before assistance
reached him and his death be supposed to
have been caused by his own carelessness.
whatever their motive was, they did
desert him, and for several hours the IN
jured lad lay On the ground weltering in
his own blood before assistance reached
him.

Funeral
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 25.-An extraor-
binary occurrence is reported from Sum-
merten, Clarendon county. A colored
girl. seventeen years old, who had been
i'll several days, died last WedDes day
The body was properly prepared and
dressed for burial and placed in coffin,
the darkies of the neighborhood ho-diDg

corpse all through Wednesday night.
The funeral services were held
IN the colored church Thurs
day afternoon, and the body
was to be inferred in graveyard about
two miles distant. When the cortege had
reached point within 500 yards of the
cemetery the pallbearers were startled by
q crying noise, some what resembling the

it was resolved that the coffin should be

found to the great CONSERVATION VI

Reault of the Tariff on White Lead.
PhfIada1nhIa Record

Another "Trust," it has been an
nounced, is resdy for business. 1t ap-
pears that the protected makers of white
lead can make more of that article than
they can dispose of at profit. Under
the beautiful theories of the advocates OF
protection, when sn infant industry has
been coddled until the stage of competi-
tive production has been reached low
prices are insured and hslcyon times
for the consumer ere promised. But the
infant industries know trick that is not
set down in the protection hsnC-books.
They organize combination and call it a
"truss," and proceed to keep the market
price as high as the top of the tariff wall.
The tariff on white lead either in the
dry state or ground and mixed with oil
is cents pound, or $50 per ton of 1000
pounds. The trust, therefore, can safely
keep prices in the home market $50 per
ton higher than they should be, and high
er than they could be but for the pernic-
ious tariff rate which makes the robbery
possible.
